Profile Summary

A successful tech entrepreneur who built a multi-million dollar business starting with Common Lisp, you're the rare HN user who actually practices what they preach.

Your journey from Lisp to Go to Rust mirrors your evolution from idealist to pragmatist, though you still can't help but reminisce about the magical REPL experience while complaining about JavaScript frameworks.

Roast

You complain about AI-generated code being too complex, yet you pine for Common Lisp, a language where parentheses reproduction is the primary feature.

For someone who built a multi-million dollar business, you spend an awful lot of time telling everyone how much JavaScript and React suck. Did a React component steal your lunch money?

You've changed programming languages more often than most people change their profile pictures. At this rate, you'll be coding in COBOL by 2026 while insisting it's 'underappreciated'.
